TooOld Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 That's pretty awesome and an excellent conversion ! You definitely nailed the look with the wood and all of the trim work . The roof rack is pretty impressive as is the entire build , great work !
Ford guy Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Wow! That's a beautiful Cadillac! Awesome build, Great bodywork. Impressive in deed.
Ramfins59 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Jean-Jacques, that is a beautiful model and yes, it was great to be able to see it in person at the NNL East show.
W-409 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 You're the "Wagon Master". Not only you build fantastic Longroofs, actually many of them are a result of a hard conversion rather than a ready resin body. Really nice work here with all of the scratchbuilding and it paid off. This looks like real car. Excellent job.
Porscheman Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I remember this model from the show and was totally impressed. Excellent workmanship!!!!
realgone58 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Just beautiful! Fantastic conversion work! I spy a kustom '59 Plymouth back there too!
Silver Foxx Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Terrific work on this , looks so nice , well done .
Maindrian Pace Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Unimprovable! Love the detailed roof rack and wood trim. -MJS
Eshaver Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 You best be real proud of that masterpiece , well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grumpa Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Fantastic build! I have to imagine that if Cadillac had built a wagon back in the '50's it would have looked just like this. Outstanding work!
Joker Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Thank you for sharing/posting your Fotki link Jean. Your latest wagon is insane ! I appreciate the body work and dedication.
unclescott58 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 WOW! Very nice! Looks like the real thing. Scott Aho
